I Love You So Mochi
by Sarah Kuhn
Synopsis:
She's obsessed with transforming everyday ephemera into Kimi Originals: bold outfits that make her and her friends feel like the Ultimate versions of themselves. But her mother disapproves, and when they get into an explosive fight, Kimi's entire future seems on the verge of falling apart. So when a surprise letter comes in the mail from Kimi's estranged grandparents, inviting her to Kyoto for spring break, she seizes the opportunity to get away from the disaster of her life.
When she arrives in Japan, she's met with a culture both familiar and completely foreign to her. She loses herself in the city's outdoor markets, art installations, and cherry blossom festival - and meets Akira, a cute aspiring med student who moonlights as a costumed mochi mascot. And what begins as a trip to escape her problems quickly becomes a way for Kimi to learn more about the mother she left behind, and to figure out where her own heart lies.
In I Love You So Mochi, author Sarah Kuhn has penned a delightfully sweet and irrepressibly funny novel that will make you squee at the cute, cringe at the awkward, and show that sometimes you have to lose yourself in something you love to find your Ultimate self.
Review:
It is so hard to write a thoughtful review when all I want to do is gush about how much I loved everything about this book. I'll give it a shot but I can't promise anything more than heart eye emojis.
Ok, I absolutely loved this book! The relationships were so sweet, I couldn't help but gush over practically every page. We get to see all different kinds of relationships and they are all beautiful and unique, each with its own issues and charms. The writing is engaging. I was drawn in from the very beginning. The story plays out well with a steady pace that fits with the story line. The context of the story is beautiful. The author uses humor and drama in a way that compliments and shapes the story to give its readers maximum impact. When I reached the end I wanted it to continue. Kimi was a wonderful main character. She was charming, delightful and had this spark that made her easy to cheer for. While the ending was well done, it was hard to say goodbye to these characters that I have fallen in love with.
So that's it I guess, there's my review. I loved every bit of I Love You So Mochi and it's one of my favorite books ever.
Thank you for interesting review!
